Schaefer L, Dech S, Carnarius F, Ronnert F, Bittmann F, Becker R
BMC Musculoskelet Disord . 2024 Jan; 25(1):34. PMID: 38178020
Background: Quadriceps strength deficits are known for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), whereas findings on hamstrings are less clear. The Adaptive Force (AF) as a special neuromuscular function has never...

Bittmann F, Dech S, Schaefer L
Brain Sci . 2023 Jul; 13(7). PMID: 37509036
Sensorimotor control can be impaired by slacked muscle spindles. This was shown for reflex responses and, recently, also for muscular stability in the sense of Adaptive Force (AF). The slack...

Bittmann F, Dech S, Schaefer L
Life (Basel) . 2023 Apr; 13(4). PMID: 37109439
Adaptation to external forces relies on a well-functioning proprioceptive system including muscle spindle afferents. Muscle length and tension control in reaction to external forces is most important regarding the Adaptive...

Schaefer L, Carnarius F, Dech S, Bittmann F
Front Physiol . 2023 Mar; 14:1020954. PMID: 36909246
The Adaptive Force (AF) reflects the neuromuscular capacity to adapt to external loads during holding muscle actions and is similar to motions in real life and sports. The maximal isometric...

Schaefer L, Bittmann F
Diagnostics (Basel) . 2023 Mar; 13(5). PMID: 36900026
Long COVID patients show symptoms, such as fatigue, muscle weakness and pain. Adequate diagnostics are still lacking. Investigating muscle function might be a beneficial approach. The holding capacity (maximal isometric...

Schaefer L, Bittmann F
Front Med (Lausanne) . 2023 Jan; 9:879971. PMID: 36714125
The increasing prevalence of Long COVID is an imminent public health disaster, and established approaches have not provided adequate diagnostics or treatments. Recently, anesthetic blockade of the stellate ganglion was...

Schaefer L, Dech S, Wolff L, Bittmann F
Brain Sci . 2022 Oct; 12(10). PMID: 36291257
The link between emotions and motor function has been known for decades but is still not clarified. The Adaptive Force (AF) describes the neuromuscular capability to adapt to increasing forces...
8.
Schaefer L, Bittmann F
Brain Sci . 2022 Jun; 12(6). PMID: 35741589
Inter-brain synchronization is primarily investigated during social interactions but had not been examined during coupled muscle action between two persons until now. It was previously shown that mechanical muscle oscillations...

Dech S, Bittmann F, Schaefer L
BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil . 2022 Mar; 14(1):55. PMID: 35354469
Background: Isometric muscle actions can be performed either by initiating the action, e.g., pulling on an immovable resistance (PIMA), or by reacting to an external load, e.g., holding a weight...
10.
Dech S, Bittmann F, Schaefer L
Diagnostics (Basel) . 2021 Nov; 11(11). PMID: 34829320
The regulation of oxygen and blood supply during isometric muscle actions is still unclear. Recently, two behavioral types of oxygen saturation (SvO) and relative hemoglobin amount (rHb) in venous microvessels...
